Ore no Imouto’s PSP spin-off “Ore no Imouto … Portable” is attracting attention for having rather more adventurous content than the usual generic anime visual novel, with players purportedly able to encounter a possible yandere ending and another involving a relationship with Kirino’s old man.

Ore no Yome: Anata Dake no Hanayome, the Xbox 360 quasi-eroge featuring none other than Rie Kugimiya as a tsundere ojou-sama and art by noted shota illustrator Akira Kasukabe, appears to be pushing the boundaries of what a console game can get away with, in Japan at least.

In a sudden and unexpected about face, visual novel publisher Minori has gone from blocking non-Japanese users from its site with accusations of piracy and patronising suggestions they come to Japan if they want to play them, to asking they buy them in a joint venture with MangaGamer.

Even more surprisingly, the translations will be provided by the same fan translation group Minori was previously at pains to stop…

MangaGamer have revealed that they will be stripping their upcoming release of top yuri eroge Koihime Musou of all voicing, in spite of earlier assurances to the contrary – however, they generously offer a 5 euro discount and promise they will add the voices back if enough people happen to buy the game, the release of which they have also delayed by 6 months.

Even the most talented of artists have a tendency to make embarrassing artistic gaffes from time to time (or with disturbing frequency in some cases), whilst talentless artists feeling the pressure of a deadline or a tight budget seem able to make even the most innocuous of erotic art into an exercise in deformed contortionism…

Steamy yuri scenes from mainstream games of all kinds have been compiled into the video below for the edification of viewers, demonstrating that scenes of hot lesbian love are not merely the preserve of 18+ eroge:

Upcoming ero-RPG Agarest Senki 2 brings with it just the kind of saucy dancing, oppai physics and brief glimpses of pantsu sure to delight fans of the series. The game even caters to fans of both sizes (and not just in terms of height).

Despite their $80 price tags it seems eroge are not always immune from the kind of dismal art and non-existent quality control which plague so much anime and manga, resulting in some particularly grotesque scenes of sexual chaos.
